Watch: Afghanistan unveil Champions Trophy 2025 jersey representing Afghan culture

The ICC Champions Trophy is just round the corner, and a majority of the squads have also been announced for the upcoming event, which is slated to be co-hosted by the UAE and Pakistan. Just three weeks ahead of the marquee event, Afghanistan, one of the participants in the event, have unveiled their jersey for the ODI event.

Notably, this is the first time that Afghanistan are taking part in the tournament after earning a well-deserved qualification, and they will be hoping to put on their best performances against some of the top teams in the One-Day International (ODI) format.

Coming back to the jersey revelation, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) uploaded a video on social media on Thursday, January 30 to put forward the threads that the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side will be donning throughout their campaign at the eight-team tournament. The board added to mention the cultural and elegant features of the country's heritage in the design language of their kit.

"Presenting Afghanistan's Official Jersey for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025!: Inspired by our rich cultural heritage, the jersey design beautifully blends the elegance of Naskh calligraphy with the geometric patterns of the historic Jam Minaret in Ghor Province. The Jam Minaret, standing for nearly 800 years, is located in the historic city of Firuzkuh along the banks of the Harirod River. With a height of 65 meters and a diameter of 9 meters, it serves as a testament to Afghanistan’s rich heritage," as quoted by the ACB on X (formerly known as Twitter)"

“As AfghanAtalan take the field, they will wear the spirit of unity, the determination of our nation, and the elegance of Jam. They will create history and keep Afghanistan’s name shining on the global stage!,” the post read further.
